Documents provided to the party showed that companies delivering PPE to the metro were overcharging, said DA leader in the province Nqaba Bhanga.

The DA in the Eastern Cape says it has approached the Special Investigations Unit to probe “potential impropriety” in the awarding of several tenders to deliver personal protective equipment to the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality.

“Kaziforce delivered four batches of 8,600 face masks at a price of R19.50 per mask, or R167,700 per batch. The company, therefore, delivered 34,400 masks at a total price of R670,800. “Therefore, the maximum price charged for 34,400 Type 1 masks should be no more than R351,568. Even more shocking is that these same masks can be bought on Takealot for R300 per box of 50, or R6 per mask,” said DA leader in the province Nqaba Bhanga in a statement.
